Below is a picture of Sullivan’s creek running its banks taken around 12.40. If you’ve got pictures of the wild weather send them in to images@the-riotact.com

UPDATE: Thanks to Dannybear sending in some photos of a usually dry drain in Gordon there’s now a slideshow below.

Also the discovery trail at the Cotter is closed for the weekend.

Further Update: The slideshow now has a picture of the big tree down in Glebe Park.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Davesact has sent in some video of the flooded point hut crossing. (below)
